Chapter Seven – I'm So Tired Of Being Alone

Next Sunday morning, Hermione woke up at the crack of dawn with a smile on her face. She took a nice warm shower and dressed in cream white skirt, a black sleeveless top and white sandals and topped it over with her robes. She brushed her brown hair and looked at herself in the mirror. She smiled and walked out of the room. Hermione pushed the portrait and stepped outside. She saw Draco waiting for her outside. Draco was wearing a green shirt and khaki jeans, with his robes over it. He saw Hermione and smiled. Hermione smiled and walked towards him.

            "And here's my little angel" he teased

Hermione giggled, "And you're my little devil"

            "I resent that!" he laughed

Both of them walked hand in hand to the Great Hall. When they got there, they saw only a few people.

            "Do you want to go somewhere before breakfast?"

            "Um…sure. Where?"

            "Let's go to the garden. I want to know more about you"

Hermione giggled again, "Okay"

They reached the garden and sat underneath an apple tree.

            "So, what do you want to know about me?"

            "Well…how's life in the Muggle world?"

Hermione suddenly remembered Cole, "It's fine. I miss some few people. You should visit me sometime"

Draco frowned, "I don't think that's a great idea. What will my father think? And I still have to wait until eighteen to do my own things"

            "Me too…Well, let's not worry about that. What are you doing at your home during the summer?"

            "Nothing. We sometimes have visitors staying over. Other than that, I'm doing nothing"

They spent hours talking about things they never knew about each other, until it was already breakfast.

            "We better go, it's breakfast already. By the way, does Potter and Weasley suspect anything?"

            "I don't think so…"

            "Good. Let's go"

Draco took Hermione's hand and both of them walked together back to the Great Hall. Before they stepped inside, Ron came rushing towards them

            "Hermione! What are you doing with that Slytherin scum!?" Ron yelled

            "Uh…he was helping…um…with my…uh…Charms essay!"

            "You're not very good in lying, Hermione. Tell me the truth" Ron glared at Draco

            "She's my girlfriend, Weasley" Draco interrupted

            "WHAT!?" Ron screamed so loud, Harry came running

            "Ron! What's wrong!?"

            "MALFOY AND HERMIONE ARE DATING!!!!"

            "WHAT!?"

            "How could you, Hermione!? Don't you ever recall all of the things he has done to you!?" Harry asked

            "I finally realized that under that Slytherin guise is a very charming Draco"

            "And you just called him with his first name!"

            "I have a name. Use it" Draco sneered

            "So? I like it."

Hermione gave both of them a glare and walked inside the Great Hall.

            "I'm going to my table now" Draco said

            "Aww…okay" she pouted and gave a peck on Draco's lips and both went separate ways.

            "HARRY! Did you see that!?" Ron yelled again

            "I did…with my very own eyes. Don't worry Ron. They won't last long"

            "I hope so" Ron said angrily

At the Gryffindor Common Room, Hermione was reading a book when something disturbed her. She looked at the window and saw Draco's owl, D'Ary. Hermione stood up and walked towards the window. She opened it and D'Ary flew in. He stretched out his right leg. Hermione saw a parchment rolled around it. She took it and D'Ary away. She unrolled it and began reading.

And every time I close my eyes

I thank the Lord that I've got you

And you've got me too

And every time I think of it

I pinch myself

Coz I don't believe it's true

That someone like you

Loves me too

Hermione smiled and rolled it back again. With the letter was a necklace with a red heart jewel in the middle. She wore it and smiled again.

*~*~*~*~*~*

At Cole's home, Cole stared at the photo album that was filled with pictures of him and Hermione. He sighed and looked out the window.

            "Where are you Hermione?" he said to himself

            "Cole?"

Cole turned around and saw his mother, "What?"

            "Hermione's mother is here"

Cole's eyes widened and rushed downstairs. At the living room, he saw Holly Granger.

            "Hi Cole." Mrs. Granger smiled

            "Hi Mrs. Granger"

            "I bet you're wondering where Hermione is right now. Well, she's in a foreign school right now. We can't tell you yet. But when the time is right, we can. If you would like to send anything to her, like a letter. We can deliver it to her"

            "Okay. I have something. I'll just get it"

Cole rushed to his room and got a folded piece of paper out of his drawer. It was a color beige paper, with a red ribbon tied around it. He went back downstairs and handed it to Mrs. Granger

            "Thanks"

            "Anytime Cole, anytime. We better be going now. Thank you Ingrid."

            "No problem, Holly"

And with that, Mrs. Granger left their home.
